One tree can start a forest
One smile can begin a friendship
One hand can lift a soul
One word can frame a goal
One candle can wipe out darkness
One laugh can conquer gloom
One hope can raise our spirits
One touch can show you care
One life can make a difference…
Be that one today.

May we be those willing to take the first step.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend.

Tendered is this touch that
saves and soothes, comforts and mends–
strength sustained by the pulse of
a heart constrained by its own calling,
the candle within softened by flame,
its waxen tributary a remembrance to
the joys and sorrows, gains and losses
…moments treasured in the care for mankind.

A few lines from Healer…in recognition of the efforts of all the nurses, techs, and everyday caregivers out there.
Thank you for being you.

“Waking up this morning,
I smile.
Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow
to live fully
in each moment
and to look at all beings
with eyes of compassion.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh

May we treasure each new day, and may your day be beautiful. 💜
“Too often we underestimate
the power of
a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.”
-Leo Buscaglia

May we each let our compassion be a candle in the night. 💙
